Top 6 Probiotic Supplements for Gut Health

Choosing a probiotic supplement for gut health is as confusing as choosing any kind of supplement — the limitless brands all seem the same, but all claim to be different. Many brands claim their probiotic is the “best” because it has a certain amount of a certain bacterial strain proven to improve gut health. But where is the proof? And even if they provide some kind of proof, how do we know how much and what type of bacteria is best for our situation?

Many brands seem to only offer a placebo effect, and because of the high price of probiotics, we often stop trying. I know this all too well; along my journey in battling IBD I tried countless probiotic supplements and was left with all of these questions and more.

It wasn’t until a coworker suggested Visbiome as a probiotic to improve my IBD when I noticed marginal differences in my gut health.

I came to the conclusion that we often choose our probiotic supplements based on marketing versus how well they actually work in improving our personal gut health. This article is my best attempt to answer the questions above and provide the top six, Whealthy-approved best probiotic supplements, where you’re likely to notice a measurable difference in the improvement of gut health.

*Disclaimer: As a general rule, more research is needed to prove that probiotics are effective in humans. The reason for this lack of evidence in the field is because not only is every person (and every microbiome) different, but there are an uncounted number of beneficial bacteria that come in all strain sizes, types, CFU counts, and combinations; making probiotics a tricky topic for scientific research. Always consult your doctor before trying new supplements or medications. This article is based on personal research and years worth of experience with IBD treatment.

LOVED visbiome. But they removed their inactive ingredients and it no longer works the same for many people. Such a bummer. It really helped me a lot

This video cleared up a lot of information for me, even though I had read a lot of professional literature and talks on the topic. Thank you!

Thanks for this, Ordered Visbiome this tuesday. Waiting for its arrival. Expensive for a probiotic but...if we can drop money on food, drinks and so on. We can drop it on our health, especially if it'll help.

Hey, thanks for this information! In the past I have dealt with many stomach issues. I later found out that my anxiety and panic attacks stemmed from not only my bad eating habits, but my bacteria imbalance! At that time I knew nothing about stomach bacteria. My bad eating habits, have supported the growth of parasites as well. Doctors were quick to give me antibiotics, but never fully explained the importance of probiotics. I did my own research and learned everything i could get my hands on concerning stomach healing! I really appreciate the great insight that your video shows! You are super knowledgeable and looking forward to seeing more.

This is such a great video—both in information and in videography. Way to make gut health and science based information fun! So I was wondering….have you heard of Megaspore probiotics? I’d be interested to know what score Megaspore might have in the Whealthy ratings. 😊. Thanks, man!
Awesome vid!

Sir, you are most correct! Visbiome BY FAR is the best. I'd taken other probiotics & it was like I'd taken nothing! Seriously. So, having taken useless probiotics that did absolutely nothing for me, one day my VETERINARIAN prescribed Visbiome for my CAT! I'd requested my vet suggest a probiotic in pill form for my cat, since my cat wouldn't eat the sprinkle-on vet probiotic supplements. Wow, it was more $$, but I saw a definite change in my cat. His life improved after Visbiome! So, I thought, shoot...lemme give it a try. I've never turned back. Visbiome is the difference between night & day for me. Told my Mom to take it. She didn't take my advice for months. One day she calls me & said she finally tried some Visbiome & it did wonders for her. I asked her, 'what took you so long to finally try it?!'
